Hi Folks,

This will probably be my last batch of crafting until the New Year as I still have things to do before Christmas re baking etc and so to my last challenge which is Loretta's last for this year too.

I have ended up making 3 cards for this challenge but I did start out just making one which truly follows the challenge and that is the birthday card.
I have used white card stock to make square cards, 2 shades of card stock for each card, 2 co ordinating backing papers for each card, sentiments, various gem stones, flowers, brads and images. The two christmas cards are using Whiff of Joy images and the birthday card is using Limited Edition Sugar Nellie stamp for Charity and that is why I have chosen it as I was thinking of all those people who for some reason are ill, lonely or just never had anything let alone understand what Christmas means to the rest of us lucky ones. So I have dedicated it to all of those people in hope that their lives will improve some what, peace and goodwill to all.

Hope you all enjoy these and until next time do take care and happy crafting, lol

Calenders - 1 of 5

Hi Folks,

As promised I am back with the calender which I have just finally finished at last and all I need to do is on the 2 small ones put the year on the front sheet. So this is 1 of 5 posts.

I have made 3 calenders, 2 half A4 (gifts) and another one of half A4 but with long date strips for me as I like to write reminders on them and because of this there is 2 layouts to make it easier.

H Folks,

Hope this finds you all well, think I am losing the plot, being spread too thin I think, what with crafting, xmas - crafting, cooking etc,Facebook, blogging, plus Vamp Wars, Vamp Darkside, many other fb groups, family and now being asked to be admin (plus computer wiz kid) for a group on fb, yikes! Looks like its getting round for some reason that I am good with computers, dont know where people get that idea, hahahaha!

Oh well, its nice to be in demand but oh help me if I cant solve a computer issue on fb as I really dont know anything about groups and the running of them. All right yes, I do know how to write programs in basic and binerary, over 20 years of input, emails, internet and other bits and pieces but mainly its learn as I go folks and I do love helping others but its getting a bit worrying when someone messages me and says its a private group why is it showing up on the wall and such like, ohhh lord what have I got myself into.

Sorry,enough stressing out folks, just panicking, lol. Well I started this card last week and have finally finished it today for Loretta's challenge. I have used a medium sized rectangle card, with deep purple card stock, green card stock, 3 co ordinating backing papers, sentiments, cuttlebug, spellbinders shapes, sentiments, card candy, several flowers and a lovely Magnolia image called Bubbling Tilda.

Hope you like this one and am hoping to be back again this week with my calenders, fingers crossed that the fb group does not have any more panic stations so I can finish them, until next time, do take care and happy crafting, lol
